Chapter 716


    “Same here. I’m middle-aged, heedless of what’s going on in the entertainment industry. However, I


    keep seeing his name in the news recently. Out of curiosity, I browse the web to look for his pictures


    and videos. Oh my god, notice this handsome boy, guys!”


    “I agree with you. Isn’t it a pity that a charming man like him is locked at home? His face must be


    shown to the world!”


    “I heard that someone actually spent forty million dors to defame Josh Batton. Hello? Four


    million? Are you kidding me? His face is worth more than four hundred million, duh.”


    “I’ve be his fan too! My heart melts every time I look at his face. I finally understand why


    people often say that love makes one foolish.”


    “Josh can easily make my whole body melt, not to mention my heart.”


    Besides, Josh Batton’s fandoms had all dered that they would support him with all their hearts


    and fight with him until the end.


    Some of the fans, who had previously outgrown Josh, came back to their senses after a week. They


    made a strongeback by pushing the boat out to support Josh.


    While all these were happening, X Quest was secretly observing the course of events in the X


    Entertainment President’s office.


    After scrolling through thements, X called Georgie Clementine and ordered, “Georgie,


    disclose everything and prosecute the haters…”


    The attention on this matter had now reached a peak. They should quit while they were ahead.


    “Got it.”


    Shortly after X hung up the call, her phone rang again. Shawn Gilbert’s number appeared on the


    screen.


    X did not save his number, but she recognized it at first sight. That series of arrogant 6s was


    quite remarkable, after all.


    X frowned slightly. With a disgusted face, she answered the call and pressed the recording icon


    again. “What do you want?”


    “Nah, I just heard that you decided to give up on him. Therefore, I’m here to congratte you…”


    “Pfft.” X sneered.


    “Are you trying to please me by shutting out Josh Batton? Let me tell you. I don’t care what you’re


    going to do with him, and I’ll never spare yourpany.


    “I’ve given my word to the entire entertainment industry. From now on, no one dares to work with


    Josh anymore. Moreover, his reputation is in tatters. I’m afraid that this poor guy can’t turn himself


    around for the rest of his life.


    “The rest of the artists in yourpany will end up like Josh soon…” Shawn warned.


    X was disinterested in chatting with this rascal.


    Without hesitation, she hung up on him and blocked his number.


    After X hung up the call, Shawn decided to call Josh.


    Josh was currently sleeping soundly on the other end of the phone. He had never been on a


    vacation since his career took off.


    When he heard his phone rang, he picked up the call without even looking at who it was.


    “Josh Batton… Your good name is now dragged through the mire… Do you regret your decision?”


    Shawn cold snorted, “Even if you regret it, I’m not going to give you another chance… I’ve given


    you enough chances already.”


    His voice slowly shook Josh out of his daze.


    Nevertheless, his threat hardly caused a ripple of fear within Josh. Josh calmly sat up and leaned


    against the bedhead. “I have no regrets.”


    “What?”


    “I’d rather die than be with an ugly troll like you.”


    “What? How dare you call me an ugly troll! Do you have a death wish? I can make you disappear


    from Antis anytime!”


    “Go ahead if you have that ability to do so.”


    Without wasting more time talking nonsense with him, Josh hung up on him and threw his phone


    aside.


    To him, one more word with that kind of person was the biggest insult to his ears.


    ***


    At noon, X Entertainment’s official page posted a few of Shawn’s audio clips threatening X to


    send Josh over to spend a night with him on Weibo.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    The first audio clip was when Shawn personally went to X’s office and made the request.


    The next two clips were the recordings of Shawn’s calls with X.


    Shawn’s identity and all the ridiculous things he said werepletely exposed in the audio clips.


    There was a long paragraph attached beneath the audio clip. “Listen to this audio, and you’ll know


    who’s right and who’s wrong, who’s on the bright side and who’s on the dark side. The recent


    scandal is merely an act of revenge by someone who has failed to lure ourpany’s artist with his


    absurd back-door deals. We’ll definitely take legal actions against the haters who attacked our artist


    and send them to jail.”


    The revtion of these recordings was like a thousand-pound boulder smashing a peacefulke,


    resulting in a huge wave in the very next second.
